but insists has no plans to launch an attack. the russian military flexing its muscles in the worn at region bordering ukraine. moscow denies its planning and invasion, but with this slick video released by its defense ministry, it at least wants to send the message that it's ready to fight. there is real concern in the region about russia's motives. russian troops are now positioned in bella, rues, all along russia's border to ukraine, and our mast in eastern ukraine, where fighting has been ongoing for years. further to the north, the baltic states of estonia, latvia and lithuania, are promising to support ukraine with shipments of weaponry and military support. arguing that diplomacy alone can't prevent an armed conflict. aggressiveness, who said the bus that her guiding was the aggressor always way got impossible,

losses sausages and likely damage also did em. i think that a strong state or capable of defending itself for steve is really the only way to increase the chances of a peaceful resolution. oh, really me their policy or to be just was but it's however, it's a principle of deterrence not endorsed by germany, which has disappointed kiya by refusing to supply weaponry to crane. because now off the cuff comments by germany's naval chief have added more fuel to the diplomatic fire. hi, i'm him shown back on a visit to india, said russian president, vladimir putin probably deserve respect. and that the crimean peninsula annexed by russia would not return to ukraine. just looking to somebody in clay, brought me up in los, is go, look, i'm, this is a, we have to do that. oh, oh, she's ah,

. now. whereas ukraine is now procuring mostly light weapons, anti tank missiles, also systems to detect archery artillery positions on the other side. and that has been procuring jones everything that might be needed in the case of a land invasion by tanks and by, by troops are from the other side. there is a long shopping list in ukraine, of other systems of more complicated, more sophisticated systems. but this is not the priority right now, they would need to years to build vessels for example, and they would need additional training. so right now ukraine is trying to my everything that can be used against the tank invasion. now, while tensions are being diffused, the u. k says that kremlin is trying to install pro ration leadership in ukraine. what has the reaction been to this accusation?

well, this, this or the, the u. k. has released the list of 5 names that russia considers her to install somehow here and key of as a proxy government, but it has provided no additional information. so this communication raises more questions than it does answer. and oh we, we do absolutely not know what the scenario is that the, that the ukraine u. k. services have intercepted here. are these people who are in line for a possible government? if russia would invade ukraine? are they planning to do something here behind the lines? what is clear, however, is that a popular uprising is probably not going to bring these people into positions. they are form officials from a government that has been housed it in 2014 by the people. 4 of them have fled to russia and they're mostly very unpopular here in ukraine. and meanwhile,

in germany there's also been controversy about comments made by the countries now for my navy chief, our s k. every act into that well, 0, one could say that these remarks by the navy chief has some are tipped emotions over the top. he of has long, long been unhappy with germany for 2 reasons. one is the north gym, 2 pipeline that is seen here as a weakening ukraine's position by circumventing it's in terms of gas deliveries to europe. and the other thing that key of it's unhappy about is germany's refusal to provide weapons to ukraine and not only to sell weapons on its own, but also blocking weapons from other countries. for example, the baltic states one to re sell weapons that they once procured in germany, to ukraine and germany has so far,

not given green light for these trans actions. so germany, while a voicing support for ukraine, is accused here of not standing to its words, dw correspondent, my, the as bellinger reporting from kia. thank you. let's now look out some more stories making headlines around the world. heavy gunfire has rang out from several military barracks and the prison in beacon officers capital work. i do go as messages circulate and social media of more gunshots. any possible military cool. the defense minister says the president of the country has not been detained . talks are underway in arsenal, between the taliban members of afghan civil society and western diplomats. it is the taliban 1st official exchange with the west when he will be in soil of the season. par last august. new zealand is up and it's
